(I assume you meant `M-:', not `M-e:'.) Maybe someone can give a good reason why it doesn't work the first time. If not, please file a bug. Note that this use of `M-tab' is a bit special: you are not invoking it, you are asking about the binding. That might have something to do with the problem here. I have never had Windows app switching get activated when I have invoked `M-tab'. > Something seems out of order here, but you are anyway right in that it > kind of works and probably is useful.
